Among other websites consulted, one of my main sources for this and many other posts is the peerless UK resource (and probably the best site of its kind for any sports team) known as "The Kentucky Basketball Statistics Project" operated by Jon Scott.  Available at http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/statistics/statistics.html

First 30-win regular season in UK history?

The top regular season win totals in UK history:
1) 29-2 (2010)
2) 27-1 (current)
2) 27-2 (1948)
2) 27-4 (1997)
5) 26-1 (1996)
5) 26-3 (2003)
5) 26-3 (1986)
8) 25-0 (1954)
8) 25-1 (1949)
8) 25-1 (1970)
8) 25-2 (1978)


UK has exactly 3 games remaining, so they have to stay perfect to set the new school mark. 


They wouldn't be the first in NCAA Division I history to accomplish it, however.  


Examples I've found of 30+ win regular seasons:
1987 UNLV (30-1)
1998 Kansas (30-3)
2008 Memphis (30-1) (now vacated)


I will add to this list as I research this further.  You'd be surprised by how inconsistent/inaccurate various sources can be on a question like this.
